🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 FED CHAIR POWELL IS STILL SCHEDULED TO GIVE A "BIG" SPEECH DESPITE SHUTDOWN TOMORROW

Markets don’t fear the speech, they fear the signal behind it.

Powell speaking during a shutdown means messaging matters more than policy.

Will he calm markets or test their conviction again?

EXPECT HIGH VOLATILITY!

Someone launched a coin and spent seven hours buying it from… themselves. Waited for others to join, nobody did, then rage-sold it all.

I wonder what that was. A tragic little DeFi drama, or a noble act saving the world from one more shitcoin?

Trump is a living meme 🤪
He's done a lot for crypto and done a lot against crypto, and he talks a lot about crypto and doesn't talk much about crypto, but the main thing he does is he makes everyone TALK about him, including those involved in crypto.
🗿This is his core media strategy.

Maybe I'm just jealous?

Core CPI is now at its lowest point since 2021 after missing to the downside by a massive amount.

Risk assets like $BTC are rallying on the back of this, combined with a large fall in the dollar and bond yields.

The 3 month annualized CPI is now just slightly over 2%. This should be very welcomed by the Fed. More rate cuts are expected to get priced in following this data.

$BTC

BREAKING: November CPI inflation unexpectedly FALLS to 2.7%, below expectations of 3.1%.

Core CPI inflation FALLS to 2.6%, below expectations of 3.0%.

This marks the biggest drop in US inflation since March 2025.

Inflation was WELL below expectations in November.

🚨 UPDATE: Japan will hike rates TOMORROW, and it could CRASH Bitcoin…

There’s a 99.82% chance of a rate hike.

Historically, Bitcoin has dumped by at least 20% after every rate hike.

But today, the real risk is clearer and it’s bigger than just bitcoin.

This isn’t even about a 0.25% move…

It’s about what breaks when Japan finally stops pretending rates don’t matter.

Here’s the part most people are missing:

For years, Japan has been the cheapest source of money in the world.

Funds borrowed yen at near-zero cost:

→ converted it to dollars
→ bought stocks, bonds, crypto, private credit, everything.

Basically, alot of people borrowed money from japan at 0% and bought BTC with it.

Now imagine what happens when they suddenly have to pay more interest to keep those investments.

Yeah, exactly…

Keep in mind that during the 2022 Fed hikes, bitcoin crashed by 67% in just a few months.

These selloffs happen fast, during illiquid hours and with no buyers underneath.

That’s why this matters for Bitcoin specifically:

– BTC trades 24/7 and it’s very liquid
– When funds need cash now, they sell what’s liquid
– Yen strength forces dollar assets lower
– Risk gets dumped fast

This is why past BOJ moves didn’t cause slow pullbacks… but fast ones.

But you already saw the warning signs… did you?

– Price moves in a 5% range
– Volatility spikes during Asia hours
– Sudden selloffs with ZERO news

If the BOJ hikes and signals more to come, the message is simple:

Cheap global liquidity is OVER and alot of people will be forced to sell their assets.

That doesn’t mean bitcoin will crash to zero lol.

It’s more mature now than it was in 2022.

But it means the easy leverage phase is coming to an end.

Historically, this is how big resets start.

If you’re over leveraged, you need to rethink your strategy ASAP.

But if you’re patient, this is where opportunities usually begin.

CRYPTO CITY is being built by the King of Bhutan🙄

💰Bhutan's been secretly mining Bitcoin with hydropower since 2020. Now they're pledging 10,000 BTC ($1 billion) to build Gelephu Mindfulness City a special economic zone where every citizen becomes a shareholder.
😳
This is a kingdom that mined 5,984 BTC using glacial meltwater, held it through every cycle without touching it, and is now using it as collateral for infrastructure instead of selling.

They're treating Bitcoin like oil reserves - generate yield, hold long-term, never liquidate the principal.
The king literally said "every Bhutanese will be a custodian, stakeholder, and beneficiary."

MY QUESTION IS - does everyone in Bhutan have internet?😁

👀 The crypto market in 2026: why 4-year cycles are becoming a thing of the past.

Grayscale believes that 2026 will be a turning point for the entire crypto market. The classic model of halving — bubble — crash will no longer work as it did before.

↗️ The end of 4-year cycles.

The market is gradually moving away from its rigid link to halving. Instead of sharp overheating and crashes, Grayscale expects a more sustainable bullish trend fueled by institutional money.
